YOU DON’T KNOW JACK Brings Trivia to FacebookYOU DON’T KNOW JACK, the multi-million selling interactive trivia franchise, launched on Facebook. Thisnew design is the first in its category to fully leverage the connected nature and immediacy of social and mobilegaming platforms.“One of the things people really love about YOU DON’T KNOW JACK on PC and consoles is the funof competing directly against their friends and family members sitting together in the living room. So our challengewas bringing that experience to the connected but asynchronous nature of the social and mobile gamingenvironments. A kind of ‘party-play’ atmosphere for people playing at work, school, or perhaps at home in theirpajamas or knickers,” said Harry Gottlieb, founder of Jellyvision Games and inventor of YOU DON’T KNOWJACK.YOU DON’T KNOW JACK brings its well-known party-play style to Facebook in three importantways: First, by automatically matching a player against his or her Facebook friends who have already playedthat specific episode; second, by providing a direct option to challenge other Facebook friends at the end of anepisode; and third, by offering multiple ways to share results, brag, and taunt friends through Facebook’s socialchannels, bringing the same type of banter experienced during a game of YDKJ on the couch into the Facebookgameplay experience.“As we worked on the new design, we kept looking for every way we could to recreate the experienceof playing YOU DON’T KNOW JACK with your family and friends,” said Steve Heinrich, Designer andEditorial Director, Jellyvision Games. “With this design we think we’ve accomplished a lot of that, even thoughwe’ve never actually met your family and friends, probably.”“We also wanted to create a gameplay experience for YOU DON’T KNOW JACK that could reallymesh with the larger social and mobile environment,” said Mike Bilder, General Manager of Jellyvision Games.“So we optimized the game to tight, five-question episodes with an editorial schedule that allows us to releasemultiple episodes each week, often with very topical content. Plus, it ensures a constantly-updating app that willremain alive and fresh, not static and unchanging like many other games I’ve played at home in my knickers.”With its editorial calendar, YOU DON’T KNOW JACK can produce content that engages players withquestions related to many of the topics they are currently discussing on Facebook on their Timelines, bringinggameplay more tightly into the social media experience than any previous game.YOU DON’T KNOW JACK’s new design will be rolled out on iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Androidlater this year, allowing players the opportunity to compete cross-platform. Cookie Masterson, the game’s mostpopular (and sassiest) host is back, as is the game’s core structure, with humor-infused questions that rangeFamily Friendly Gaming 18
from Shakespeare to Scooby-Doo. The game will be free-to-play with free games provided frequently. Userscan also win free games through achievements, and multi-game packs are available for purchase. Players canaccess YOU DON’T KNOW JACK on all available platforms at www.ydkj.com.“Even with the new design and new features, players will be instantly familiar with YOU DON’TKNOW JACK on Facebook,” said Allard Laban, Creative Director, Jellyvision Games. “Favorites like the Dis-OrDat, Gibberish Question, and Jack Attack are all there. And of course, Cookie Masterson is still our host, dueto an apparently legally binding contract that he signed years ago in crayon.”This new version of YOU DON’T KNOW JACK represents Jellyvision Games’ latest in a history ofinnovations within the interactive trivia space. When YOU DON’T KNOW JACK first launched in 1995, it wasthe first game to truly immerse the user into a fully interactive game show experience, making players feel likethe game’s host was talking directly to them.‘Drag Racer World’ Will Get Your Heart RacingDeveloped by the makers of the hit mobile game Drag Racer: Pro Tuner, the original franchise that created thedrag racing genre, Drag Racer World is the next generation in mobile gaming.
